(One, two, three) Why are you hangin' on! So tight
To the rope that I'm hangin' from. Off this island?
This was an escape plan (This was an escape plan)
Carefully timed it. So let me go! And dive into the waves below

(One, two, three) Why are you hangin' on! So tight
To the rope that I'm hangin' from. Off this island?
This was an escape plan (This was an escape plan)
Carefully timed it. So let me go! And dive into the waves below
[Pre-Chorus]
Who tends the orchards?
Who fixes up the gables?
Emotional torture
From the head of your high table
Who fetches the water
From the rocky mountain spring?
And walk back down again
To feel your words and their sharp sting?
And I'm gettin' fuckin' tired
[Chorus]
The capillaries in my eyes are bursting
If our love died, would that be the worst thing?
For somebody I thought was my saviour
You sure make me do a whole lot of labour
The calloused skin on my hands is crackin'
If our love ends, would that be a bad thing?
And the silence haunts our bed chamber
You make me do too much labour
[Post-Chorus]
(You make me do too much labour)
[Verse 2]
Apologies from my tongue
Never yours
Busy lapping from a flowing cup
And stabbing with your fork
I know you're a smart man (I know you're a smart man)
And weaponise
The false incompetence
It's dominance under guise
[Pre-Chorus]
If we had a daughter
I'd watch and could not save her
The emotional torture
From the head of your high table
She'd do what you taught her
She'd meet the same cruel fate
So now I've gotta run
So I can undo this mistake
At least I've gotta try
[Chorus]
The capillaries in my eyes are bursting
If our love died, would that be the worst thing?
For somebody I thought was my saviour
You sure make me do a whole lot of labour
The calloused skin on my hands is crackin'
If our love ends, would that be a bad thing?
And the silence haunts our bed chamber
You make me do too much labour
[Bridge]
All day, every day: Therapist, mother, maid
Nymph, then a virgin nurse, and a servant
Just an appendage, live to attend him
So that he never lifts a finger
Twenty-four-seven baby machine
So he can live out his picket fence dreams
It's not an act of love if you make her
You make me do too much labour
All day, every day: Therapist, mother, maid
Nymph, then a virgin, nurse, and a servant
Just an appendage, live to attend him
So that he never lifts a finger
Twenty-four-seven baby machine
So he can live out his picket fence dreams
It's not an act of love if you make her
You make me do too much labour
[Chorus]
The capillaries in my eyes are bursting (All day, every day: Therapist, mother, maid)
If our love died, would that be the worst thing? (Nymph, then a virgin, nurse, and a servant)
For somebody I thought was my saviour (Just an appendage, live to attend him)
You sure make me do a whole lot of labour (So that he never lifts a finger)
The callous skin on my hands is crackin' (Twenty-four-seven baby machine)
If our love ends, would that be a bad thing? (So he can live out his picket fence dreams)
And the silence haunts our bed chamber (It's not an act of love if you make her)
You make me do too much labour
(Youn, de, twa) Poukisa ou hangin 'sou! Se konsa, sere
Nan kòd la ke mwen hangin 'soti nan. Off zile sa a?
Sa a te yon plan chape (sa a te yon plan chape)
Ak anpil atansyon kwonometre li. Se konsa, kite m 'ale! Ak plonje nan vag ki anba yo
[Pre-koral]
Ki moun ki gen tandans jaden rezen yo?
Ki moun ki fikse moute Gables yo?
Tòti emosyonèl
Soti nan tèt la nan tab segondè ou
Ki moun ki chache dlo a
Soti nan sezon prentan an Rocky Mountain?
Epi mache tounen ankò
Yo santi pawòl ou yo ak pike byen file yo?
Apre sa, mwen gettin 'fuckin' fatige
[Koral]
Kapil yo nan je m 'yo eklatman
Si renmen nou an te mouri, ki ta dwe bagay ki pi mal la?
Pou yon moun mwen te panse te sovè mwen
Ou sèten fè m 'fè yon anpil tout travay
Po a calloused sou men m 'se crackin'
Si lanmou nou fini, ta yon move bagay?
Ak silans la poursui chanm kabann nou an
Ou fè m 'fè twòp travay
[Post-koral]
(Ou fè m 'fè twòp travay)
[Vèsè 2]
Ekskiz nan lang mwen
Pa janm pou ou
Okipe lapman soti nan yon tas ap koule tankou dlo
Ak kout kouto ak fouchèt ou
Mwen konnen ou se yon nonm entelijan (Mwen konnen ou se yon nonm entelijan)
Ak zam
Fo enkonpetans lan
Li nan dominasyon anba laparans
[Pre-koral]
Si nou te gen yon pitit fi
Mwen ta gade epi yo pa t 'kapab sove li
Tòti emosyonèl la
Soti nan tèt la nan tab segondè ou
Li ta fè sa ou te anseye li
Li ta rankontre menm sò a mechan
Se konsa, kounye a mwen te oblije kouri
Se konsa, mwen ka defèt erè sa a
Omwen mwen dwe eseye
[Koral]
Kapil yo nan je m 'yo eklatman
Si renmen nou an te mouri, ki ta dwe bagay ki pi mal la?
Pou yon moun mwen te panse te sovè mwen
Ou sèten fè m 'fè yon anpil tout travay
Po a calloused sou men m 'se crackin'
Si lanmou nou fini, ta yon move bagay?
Ak silans la poursui chanm kabann nou an
Ou fè m 'fè twòp travay
[Bridge]
Tout jounen an, chak jou: terapis, manman, sèvant
Nenf, Lè sa a, yon enfimyè jenn fi, ak yon domestik
Jis yon Apenndis, ap viv ale nan l '
Se konsa, li pa janm leve yon dwèt
Ven-kat-sèt machin ti bebe
Se konsa, li ka viv soti rèv kloti l 'yo
Li pa yon zak lanmou si ou fè li
Ou fè m 'fè twòp travay
Tout jounen an, chak jou: terapis, manman, sèvant
Nenf, Lè sa a, yon jenn fi, enfimyè, ak yon domestik
Jis yon Apenndis, ap viv ale nan l '
Se konsa, li pa janm leve yon dwèt
Ven-kat-sèt machin ti bebe
Se konsa, li ka viv soti rèv kloti l 'yo
Li pa yon zak lanmou si ou fè li
